I feed purina all flock/flock raiser 20% ( the green bag) and broadcast oyster shells

I would go with high protein feed like meat bird feed 22% mixed with a bit of warm water. Boiled eggs and yogurt. Also, a little flax seed in the yogurt might help also.

I have a mix flock, my black silkie seems to hold her own. She goes in on her own and roosts. She is about a year old now. Maybe it just takes time. If they are juveniles, it might just take longer. I think you are right though... silkies are errrr..... just a mellower bird.

I know someone who does. She says there is not much meat, but doable.

Mine start crowing between 16-18 weeks. They start chasing hens about 22 weeks ish? This is just an estimate.

Here are the d'uccles! They are black and blue mottled: This is UNO: the only one that made it after the first batch, isn't he cute? And the 2 Pure Coronation Sussex:

I've lost over a dozen this spring chick season. I know what you are going through. Don't despair. Keep trying, put hardware cloth in instead. See if that helps.

I entered. I could use more feed and another coop. I wonder what type of chickens you get if you win? Are they just BOs? And are they all the same breed?

I have a pure white EE that came from HHandbasket. She is named Snow and is the prettiest thing. So yes. She also doesn't have a lick of brown on her and has green feet.

culling is so hard... . I've had more than my fair share of death on the farm this summer. You should do what you think is right esp. keep in mind the chickens overall happiness in the long run. I can't tell you what to do, but I understand.

My bad... it is a dekays snake. I didn't see the penny. I thought that was a water bowl! Yeah, I thought it might be a yellow rat snake only because from the pic. I thought it was like 3 ft! IM SORRY!!! How did you catch something so small. I might have squished it! Did you let it go yet?

Wow! Purrrteee white silkie roo ! I dunno what to tell you. I have Labs. I am worried if a Silkie Roo did that, my Labs would go, dinner! I spend my days saying "no chicken" they are pretty good about it. But, I have a feeling at our house there would be a dead roo

Anyone else? Did anyone get theirs from a feed store?

Thanksgiving Turkey in July sounds great! Will there be pumpkin or pecan pie? Let's see.... moneys tight... what else is new? Ohhh... I had to buy oxine on-line. Went to 2 feed stores and they didn't carry it! I am excited that I am about to get my Marek's vaccine tomorrow. Anyone want...

worms, live super worms. Ash eggs- aka millenium eggs ( anyone know what that is?) That's it for the gross stuff! But, what you should be wondering is what is in my freezer.... hehehhehee!

I'm planning on going next week on a mantinee. My DH promised to work the late shift. I hate having people breathe down my neck at the movies. I feel like I am seat belted and locked into my seat. I am really excited! I can't wait to see the movie!

Just curious really. I went to 2 feedstores and called 2 more. No one has ever heard of it or carries it. I don't live that far out in the sticks! I finally had to order from Amazon. Where is everyone else getting their Oxine from? Thanks!

I thought the blue freckles were cute!

Update: Lavender d'uccle is hanging in there but sick. I think my spitzy is sick also. They are all quarentined. Vaccine is coming at the end of the week. I will be spending an hr. sanitizing the barn tomorrow. Oxine, DE, Bleach. Fun stuff!

It's a yellow rat snake ! You should let it go. Don't keep it... wild snakes are meant for the wild. Help keeps the rodent population down. PM me if you have any questions! Good Luck!
